> Dmitry Peskov said Moscow would not hold direct talks with Kyiv on ending what he called Ukrainian “terrorist attacks” before Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner visit Russia. He said Russia was verifying reports about long-range missile production in Ukraine and warned that related military facilities would be legitimate targets. Peskov also rejected Germany’s accusations linking Russia to the Leipzig Airport drone incident.
